  • Advanced analytics: Robust analytics features provide actionable insights to track battery performance, enhance designs, and optimise lifecycle management.
  • Regulatory compliance: The platform is designed to meet global standards, including the EU Battery Regulation, ensuring organisations stay ahead of compliance needs.
  • API integration: Third-party system integration is supported for effortless data sharing within the ecosystem.
  • Custom Workflows: OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers can develop tailored workflows that leverage battery data to build vertical analytics use cases, maximising ROI.

What the leaders say

Anil Radhakrishnan, Chief Product Officer at Tata Elxsi

“The future of sustainable mobility hinges on effectively managing a battery's entire lifecycle, from production to recycling. While compliance marks the beginning, the true challenge lies in adopting a connected, data-driven approach that guarantees traceability, efficiency, and long-term value. As Battery Passports become essential, MOBIUS+ transcends regulatory requirements by providing OEMs and suppliers with a scalable digital ecosystem that integrates lifecycle intelligence with real-time analytics. At Tata Elxsi, we leverage our expertise in automotive engineering, AI-powered insights, and cloud platforms to develop solutions that not only meet current standards but also lay the groundwork for a smarter, more resilient supply chain. With global electrification on the rise, we enable manufacturers to transform battery data into a strategic asset—enhancing safety, performance, and sustainability while optimising costs. Our collaboration with Minespider furthers this vision, ensuring businesses not only comply with emerging regulations but also lead in an ever-evolving landscape."

Nathan Williams, CEO at Minespider

“Partnering with Tata Elxsi enables us to bring our blockchain expertise to a comprehensive platform that supports the industry’s drive for transparency and compliance. Battery passports represent a significant challenge for the automotive and battery industries, as companies face mounting regulatory pressures and the need for seamless, secure data management. By embedding battery passports into MOBIUS+, we’re not only simplifying the path to compliance but also helping companies unlock the full potential of the data they collect — turning a regulatory necessity into an opportunity for operational and strategic insights. As the industry approaches the 2027 deadline to get their battery passports online, the companies that move fastest will emerge the strongest. We see battery passports as being more than a regulatory requirement, but as an opportunity to rethink the role of transparency across the industry and explore new ways to connect data and find opportunity. Through this partnership we expect to help customers to meet these challenges, extend their reach and contribute meaningfully to global sustainability goals.”
